The Essential Van Morrison by Van Morrison - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

Volume 1

Volume 2

This comprehensive anthology of one of the Emerald Isle's most soulful singers hits the high points of Van Morrison’s five-decade-long artistic evolution. The growling garage-rock glory of “Gloria,” the flowing folk-jazz epiphany of “Astral Weeks,” the joyously swinging, brass-bedazzled R&B of “Jackie Wilson Said”—it’s all here, plus plenty more. From stone-cold classics to dreamy deep cuts, it's an unprecedented opportunity to follow Van the Man’s path to the mountaintop, step by soul-slathered step.
